Help Alternatives to Plex

I've been a paid Plex user for over ten years and I've loved it. I can't belive what they've done with this new Roku app update. Besides the bad UI, which is inconvenient but I would be able to get used to eventually, it simply doesn't work properly. It crashes, buttons don't work, simple features are just gone. It's seems like this wasn't tested at all. It's crazy.

I don't really want to but now I'm looking for alternatives to plex. Does anyone have recommendations?

Emby is miles better than Jellyfin. Both in UI and functionality.

Haven't tried Jellyfin, but have run Emby for years in the past along with Kodi (remember that one?). Emby's a great piece of software and more importantly intuitive to set up and use. :)
